Value of: Cozens to MN

Buffalo isnt looking for prospects

There are prospects, and then there are prospects.

“The Sabres may be ripe for the picking, and it’s sure telling that Wild pro scouts keep attending their games. Kelleher was in attendance Tuesday night when the Sabres rallied to beat the Anaheim Ducks with Cozens assisting on all three goals.”

-Russo

Wild trade tracker: 5 centers the Wild could pursue if Joel Eriksson Ek is out until the playoffs

Heading into the March 7 NHL trade deadline, The Athletic's Michael Russo and Joe Smith will have updates on all of the Wild rumblings.

What’s a Cozens trade look like between MN-BUF? Russo also goes on to talk about how Cozens hasn’t been the same since getting punched by Hathaway two years ago. Wondering how much truth there is to that take.

Minnesota has a lot of good assets to trade, which is a problem for the Wild's GM because teams will insist on those good assets as compensation. Going to be hard for the Wild to win a trade for a while. But it's a good problem to have.

If they're looking for a RW wouldn't Tuch be a real premium target. This is predicated on them really wanting to go for the next two years, but they have prospects which could pry him out imo.

Not for sale. Thanks for playing.

My bet is Wild scouting Quinn

Former linemate of Rossi and they want a right shot

I bet they are scouting a lot of players. zucker, cozens, greenway, quinn, tuch.

What’s the story with Quinn? What’s the ask?

Like who? Buffalo probably has it

Sabres prefer to sign both greenway and zucker. They likely aren't moving them unless its an offer they like or thr pkayers day thry wont resign

What’s the story with Quinn? What’s the ask?

More than you would like.

He was injured june 2023, had an Achilles injury and that takes 18+ months to fully recover. He played some last yr but got s different injury. This year he had a slump.

Buium isn't on the table.

 

[Fjordsen]

Buium isn't on the table.

We are unlikely to be interested in Buium, as I understood on our board he mentioned Ohgren and Spacek.

One last swoop of prospects and then that’s it

 

[57special]

We are unlikely to be interested in Buium, as I understood on our board he mentioned Ohgren and Spacek.

Both would be available for the right deal, even though both(especially Ohgren) have promise. Cozens...like I said earlier, he's not all that desirable at that cap hit, even though I think he has the potential to turn things around if put in the right situation.

I don't see MN trading for either Zucker or Greenway.

Like who? Buffalo probably has it

They have a solid deep pool: Ohgren, Heidt, Yurov, Spacek would all be good adds. Bankier and Stramel aren't at that same level right now, but they're like Walhberg level assets; big physical centers.

There's an offer in that that would be well worth it. Tuch at 50% for 2 playoff runs would be worth a ton to a team like the Wild. They only have 2 forwards with RHS.

Yurov is untouchable! He’s not going anywhere ! Wild are trying to go after Brock Nelson also and have money to resign kaprizov! They are keeping roster spot for Yurov, he’s not going anywhere

 

[MNRube]

Hate to see it, but I could see Guerin entertaining a Rossi for Cozens deal if he doesn’t like how negotiations go for a Rossi extension.

Gross.

There are a few others I didnt list

Buffalo does not need more prospects

In a few years they will have to make decisions on their young players. Then some will get moved for picks, prospects or EKC

There's an offer in that that would be well worth it. Tuch at 50% for 2 playoff runs would be worth a ton to a team like the Wild. They only have 2 forwards with RHS.

buffalo isnt trading Tuch.
